Please don’t feel that you need any of these tools to make delicious food. I use high end equipment as I find they last longer, so it is cheaper in the end than having to replace items. Always use the best that you can afford; don’t break the bank!
Caring is sharing! If you would like to support This Old Gal, please share this recipe on Social Media, so that I can continue to bring you more wonderful recipes!

I ordered an instant pot duo through your site a couple of weeks ago and I got a $50 discount, free shipping, a glass cover and silicone mitts. Is this incentive still available?
Hi Correen~
My coupon code for $50 off is YumPot! I don’t know what the specials are today. Thank you for purchasing!

Wonderful and complete list. Many, many thanks. It’s people like you that make the internet so valuable.
Hi David~
Thanks for such a sweet note. Enjoy. Jill
I have the mini and ordered your recommendation of the 1.5 qt for a pot in pot. When I put into the ip liner it is almost to top. Do you not need a trivet for the pot in pot to sit on? If I put the trivet in, the pot is taller than the liner and the lid doesn’t close.
Hi Lewellyn. The bowl is 4 inches tall. The IP is 5 inches tall. This bowl is really good for reheating leftovers, so that they don’t cook more, but reheat nicely. I wonder if you were sent the wrong bowl. You can see from my photos that the bowl does fit and it is sitting on the included trivet. For things like potato salad, I would use the little basket I talk about in my IP Mini Review article. Jill
